Palo Alto taxing the poor to benefit the rich, again.

Today’s Palo Alto Weekly reports a story that has become a regular event here, in the wealthiest city on earth: “Palo Alto plans further cuts to community services.” It leaves out from the headline, and of course, the article, why Palo Alto plans these cuts. Because Palo Alto, alone in the country, refuses to tax its largest and most profitable businesses.

Our government has been sold to the highest bidder, and this has been very much the case here in Palo Alto, a city with absolutely no campaign contribution limits, and virtually no term limits.
